people posting here are going out of their way to post -- and it feels like every thought has more weight or sanctity or meaning when it's being posted here, at the dawn of a new era and the fall of an old.

i'm spending more time actually reading and engaging with every comment, parsing the details and thinking about it, conceptually. versus just looking at garbage all day, garbage with a little bit of fentanyl in to keep you hooked

I am definitely more willing to participate in the community and comments when I know someone may actually see what I say

Yeah, this is why the vast majority of my Reddit interactions are deep in a thread. Some of the comments I'm most proud of have like 40 upvotes, compared to some of my most popular, which have thousands; at that scale though, the 40 feels more meaningful because it's 40 people who have said they like the thing you wrote
